GB3 Championship Partnered by the BRDC

The GB3 Championship, partnered by the BRDC, is the UK’s premier single-seater category, and a key step on the ladder for aspiring F1 stars.

Leading graduates George Russell and Lando Norris are now established names in Formula One; both are multiple race winners and Norris challenged for the title with McLaren in 2024. Meanwhile, numerous alumni are following in their footsteps, with the FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 grids filled with former GB3 contenders, while 2021 race-winner Ollie Bearman joins the F1 ranks full-time in 2025 with Haas, having raced for Ferrari and Haas as a stand-in during 2024.

British drivers competing in GB3 also have a superb track record in the Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, with eight of the last nine winners of UK motorsport’s biggest prize being GB3 competitors.

The 2024 GB3 Championship featured big grid numbers as drivers from around the world flocked to the series, with each contender racing the Tatuus MSV-022, boasting more power, downforce and safety improvements including the addition of the halo compared to previous generation machinery. All cars are powered by 250 horsepower normally aspirated Mountune engines and run on Sunoco control fuel and Pirelli tyres.

For 2025, the Tatuus MSV GB3-025 car will be introduced, with a further horsepower increase to 280bhp, an F1-inspired aerodynamics package featuring DRS for the first time, wider tyres and key safety improvements. The new machine will be considerably quicker than the outgoing model. 

The UK rounds will mostly run alongside the prestigious British GT Championship, whilst GB3's recent upgrade to International status allows it to run across Europe - Zandvoort, Spa-Francorchamps, Hungaroring and Monza feature on the 2025 calendar.

British-born New Zealander driver Louis Sharp was crowned champion for Rodin Motorsport in 2024, after a gripping season-long fight with Tymek Kucharczyk and John Bennett, with the championship lead exchanging hands on multiple occasions throughout the season. Sharp ultimately claimed the title in the final race of the year at Brands Hatch.

In another extraordinarily competitive year, eight different drivers won races and 16 stood on the podium, demonstrating the almost unrivalled levels of equality available to all drivers in the series.
